Thanks for working on this! From the openldap side, I'm happy with the 
concept.

The dh_makeshlibs changes are not limited to a particular compat level, 
so at compat 9 both dh_makeshlibs and dh_installdeb are installing the 
provided shlibs file. That's probably harmless, but I wondered whether 
the behaviour change for existing levels was intentional.

I'd suggest clarifying that "Only in compat level 9 and earlier" in 
dh_installdeb only applies to shlibs, not triggers.

thanks,
Ryan
